Latest Vitacost Haul

A few months ago I realized I was placing an order with Vitacost almost every month. So I did myself proud and waited several months before placing this order. While I forgot to order one of the main items I "needed" (St. Claire's Ginger Pastilles), I think I made some pretty good choices.


Here's what I picked up:

Ecover Dishwashing Liquid - This is my favorite dishwashing liquid right now. I feel like it does slightly better than 7th Generation (although I love that brand too.) It's really good at cleaning caked on food.

Preserve Recycline Triple Blade Razor - Sooo excited about this! I have made a large portion of my purchases cruelty free but razors were one of the items I had not extended this philosophy to. I found these on Vitacost and they were Leaping Bunny Approved. You get a reusable handle made of recycled yogurt cups which is also recyclable when you choose to dispose of it. The razor comes with 2 cartridges and only costs about $5. You can also buy 4 more replacement cartridges at about the same price. I think I will definitely do a separate review on this once I try it out!

Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel Toner - Love Thayers toner and cucumber is one of my favorites. I like how cooling it is and love the smell. If you are not a fan of cucumber there are many other scents to choose from.

Desert Essence Organics Pumpkin Spice Hand Repair Cream - This had been out of stock and I was able to snatch one up just before I placed my order. I love pumpkin scents around this time and since I also love this brand thought this would be a win-win. Unfortunately it does not smell like pumpkin at all. Now it does contain pumpkin so maybe that's where it gets its name from? The cream comes out dark but absorbs quickly into the skin. It's non-sticky and does a very nice job of moisturizing. My hands get very chapped in winter so I will definitely be using this even if it doesn't smell of pumpkin.

Desert Essence Coconut Shampoo - I love this shampoo and it is my second time purchasing this from Vitacost. It's like $3.50 so is really too good a deal to pass up. Eventually I'd like to try some Beauty Without Cruelty hair care products too.

Desert Essence Gentle Nourishing Night Cream - Hmmm, are we sensing a trend here? This is also a second time purchase and a great product to have in winter. It contains argan oil and aloe vera and is so incredibly nourishing when used as a night cream. I seriously wake up and am amazed at how good my skin looks. This small jar costs a little over $10 but will easily outlast its six month shelf life. You only need a little.

Every Man Jack Post Shave Lotion - I bought this for my husband (love that he is interested in trying cruelty free and natural products!) It's a brand I've seen at our local Whole Foods and seemed to have some good reviews. Not Leaping Bunny approved but the packaging claims to be cruelty free.

Vitacost is a great place to find cruelty free and natural products at really affordable prices. If you're interested in checking them out you can use my referral code below to save $10 on your first order of $30 or more. And I'll get the same savings. It's a win-win! :)
